The first leg on my flight was delayed which meant I would've missed my connection. Delta (no relations) gave me a red eye flight which meant 2 things:
1) more time with my baby - check
2) opportunity to try a new place for dinner - check
With a quick search on Yelp, I found The Larder + The Delta. They had a very unique menu including fried Pig Ears with Cheetos flavoring, Seafood Perlou, Nashville Fried Chicken and many more. The Low Country Perlou was what really intrigued me and excited to try it. I'm a sucker for any type of seafood medley.
The Larder + The Delta is located in the DeSoto Central Market which is an upscale and trendy food court. It was our first time at DeSoto's so it was kinda cool to be able to check out a few different places at the same time.
We walked to the back to the L+D and ordered the Low Country Perlou ($23) and the Cauliflower ($8). It's definitely more than you would expect for a food court dinner. With tip and taxes, we were out about $38. Ouch!
I have to admit that they were quite generous with the seafood items in the perlou. The seafood items included head on shrimp, clams, mussels and Andouille sausage. Unfortunately, the rice in the dish was over salted - inedibly salty. We ate all of the seafood out of it and left the rice.
The cauliflower was tasty but $8 is a little bit too steep.
With all of that said, I'd probably wouldn't come back as there are so many restaurants I have yet to ventured out to try.
OH... $2 off apps during happy hour which is M-F 3-6pm.
